Joss Whedon, best known for being the mastermind behind Buffy, Angel and Firefly, takes viewers into an underground world of real life, human dolls. The "Dollhouse" is a facility run by a secret (and illegal) group who have had their memories and personalities completely removed.

As one of the dolls begins to piece together her past, she embarks on an extremely dangerous journey of self-discovery.
